AURORA, Colo. (AP) -- Four people, including an armed suspect, died during an hours-long police standoff Saturday at a Colorado townhome, authorities said.
An Aurora police department SWAT team responded after shots were heard at the townhome at 3 a.m., said Aurora police Sgt. Cassidee Carlson. Investigators said three people, all adults, appeared to have been killed before officers arrived.
The suspect shot at police at 8:15 a.m. and was killed during a shootout when officers stormed the home about 45 minutes later, Carlson said. It wasn't known if officers shot the suspect or if he shot himself.
A fifth person escaped unharmed before officers arrived and reported that she saw three people inside the home who "appeared lifeless," Carlson said.
The sergeant declined to elaborate about the woman's escape.
A motive for the killings was unknown. Police wearing gloves and carrying evidence bags were going over the crime scene.
"We're just getting in there with our crime scene detectives, so obviously we'll have to determine if it was our rounds or his rounds," Carlson said.
Police declined to release the name of the suspect or victims.
Officers evacuated neighbors during the standoff and used a bullhorn to communicate with the gunman, urging him to surrender.
A large front window was missing in the modest two-story townhome, the window's mini-blinds in disarray. Bullet holes marked two upstairs windows. Neighbors milled about outside.
The shootings occurred about four miles southeast of the Aurora Mall, where 12 people were killed and dozens wounded by a gunman at a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" on July 20. The man charged in that shooting, James Holmes, goes to court Monday for a preliminary hearing in which prosecutors will lay out their case against him.
Aurora, just east of Denver, is one of Colorado's largest and most diverse cities with more than 335,000 residents. It is home to Buckley Air Force Base as well as the sprawling University of Colorado Health Sciences Center campus.

In compensating for the insane overpoweredness of earlier games they went too far in the other direction. Why they singled out Magic to nerf when Alchemy, Smithing and Enchanting are all just as stupid broken as prior games remains a mystery.

video streaming
Wish to stream video lectures instead of downloading them.

Hi Nahil, Can you expand on this some. What streaming format?
FYI We encode our mp4's with streaming enabled and depending on the browser, they will start immediately with out requiring full download. Unfortunately this behavior is very browser specific.
Also if you are using systems like ECHO360, we can deploy that content on the nanohub. See: http://nanohub.org/resources/7873/supportingdocs
Heres a longer explaination from Omar.
I had gotten some inquiries into how we would be able to at least play the videos we upload on the site. It's seems that for alot of people accessing the resources it takes along time to download the vids even if they are like 150-300MB. A few months ago i had delved into streaming media and tried out a number of different solutions and found that some were useful for scenarios like this. I had thought up a couple of of solutions..
Once the presentation video is uploaded and has been published the user clicks on the button to view the resource and the following happens:
A: User button click pops open a new window with the video of the lecture playing.
What's required: Install JWplayer in Joomla to play any video type and enable streaming capabilities. Streaming server such as Red5(Open Source), or Adobe Flash Media Server (feature packed) will be needed to host the files that will be streamed.
B: I send you my upload video, you place it in the correct directory and provide me with the location of the video ex: /www/ill/nanobio/popescu.mp4 , Now if you have installed JWplayer in Joomla another feature is to grab the embed code to create the player. This added with the string to the video provide will give the user the possibility of watching the videos as opposed to downloading them.
The difference between the two here is that if you don't use the streaming server then the while watching the video you won't be able to use fast forward and other features.
Anyhow, let me know if you have any feedback on this, and I would be more than happy to give you a URL to test out the streaming vs. embed with Joomla.
best regards, Omar Sobh
My initial response is that we are focusing on placing content on youtube to provide a streaming solution.

Had to abandon Route Sentry. It was running on my machine with DDProxy which was acting as a proxy for my home network.
It did the basic stuff fine, but email (with large attachments), ftp, and most web based apps that required open ports on the firewall caused endless hassles. There was also the drawback of the internet going down whenever I rebooted or switched off my pc.
Looking for an alternative I figured I would rather set up traffic splitting with IPCOP on an old PC. But unfortunately (or fortunately) after putting an old box together I found that the graphics card was shot.
Having read this thread though I twigged that my Linksys WRT54GS router also runs under linux and the broad methodology in the thread could possibly be applied to the router.
Many thanks to contributers of the IPcop thread and particularly Bernie for the scripts and ArminM for providing the local routes.
So after endless messing about with the script it finally works. And is totally transparent to the entire network. With minimum maintenance too. Heaven, really.
I have a Linksys WRT54GS v4 with HyperWRT Thibor 15c firmware. The firmware allows for a non-volatile startup script. Very handy for the job in hand. I use this script to create another executable script in the volatile /tmp folder on boot up. This script runs every two minutes to check that the local pppoe connection is running. If necessary it will connect the local connection and create the necessary routing table entries.
Just set the router to dial a pppoe connection to your international account. Go to the routers Web GUI under Administration, Management. Edit Start Up Script. Then paste and copy the following script into the editor. Edit the username and password for your local account. Save the script. Reboot. And after several minutes you'll be enjoying a more cost effective internet experience.
That's all there is too it, really.
If you are using a later version of the WRT54G/S you may struggle getting 3rd party firmware to work. If you are using different firmware the script may still be useful to you, but program paths will possibly require editing.
I particularly like the HyperWRT Thibor firmware because it is incredibly clean and stable. My router can run for months without a reboot.
Here is the script. Remember to provide your MyUserName and MyPassWord for your local only account.
I'm a complete Linux noob. The code could certainly be improved and made more robust, so feel free.Code:echo "INTS=`/sbin/ifconfig|grep ppp0|awk '{print $1}'` echo "INTS=" >> /tmp/splitlog LOCS=`/sbin/ifconfig|grep ppp1|awk '{print $1}'` echo "LOCS=" >> /tmp/splitlog if [ "" == "ppp0" ]; then if [ "" != "ppp1" ]; then /usr/sbin/pppd pty '/usr/sbin/pppoecd vlan1 -u MyUserName -p MyPassWord -i 0 -I 30 -T 5 -t 1492 -k' noipdefault nodefaultroute ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote passive noccp nopcomp novjccomp lcp-echo-interval 20 lcp-echo-failure 3 lcp-max-configure 50 maxfail 5 sleep 15 LOCUP=`/sbin/ifconfig|grep ppp1|awk '{print $1}'` if [ "" == "ppp1" ]; then echo "Local connect succeeded. Routing..." >> /tmp/splitlog /usr/bin/wget http://alm.za.net/ip/localroutes4.txt -O /tmp/localroutes4.txt for IP in `cat /tmp/localroutes4.txt | awk '{print $4}'` do /sbin/route add -net ppp1 done /sbin/route add default dev ppp0 metric 0 sleep 2 /usr/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp+ -j MASQUERADE sleep 2 else echo "Local connect failed" >> /tmp/splitlog fi fi fi" > /tmp/splitter chmod +x /tmp/splitter echo "*/2 * * * * root /tmp/splitter" > /tmp/cron.d/check_split
However, I take no responsibility for your actions. Don't pin any bricked routers on me.
The following commands can be run in Hyperwrt's Web GUI "Run Command" screen (or I guess you could do the same via telnet/putty etc):
ifconfig {will show whether ppp0 (International) and ppp1 (Local) are connected and the amount of traffic that they have each generated since connecting.}
route -n {will show the routing table. If the script is working there should be a large number of entries directing traffic to ppp1.}
cat /tmp/splitlog {debugging generated by the script - at some point best to remove debugging from the script. Memory is capped, ie not unlimited.}
cat /tmp/localroutes4.txt {shows the downloaded routing table}
That's it. Have fun.
EDIT: Due to the unreliability of HyperWrt's pppoecd connections, I have since changed firmware to use rp-pppoe under DD-WRT. Script has been revised in later posts. Latest Version is here

Thandie Newton Says Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla is a Trilogy?! (Blog)
RockNRolla News

The more I hear about RocknRolla, the more excited I get. I think it has something to do with the fact that I love Snatch and have been waiting for Guy Ritchie to bring us another brilliant British heist film like that one. The delectable Thandie Newton (pictured above in the film), who stars as the female lead, spoke with MTV recently and shared some rather exciting details about the film, the least of which include that Ritchie wants to make this a trilogy. Although there's still 7 months left until its release, you can start getting excited for it now.
Guy Ritchie is one of England's finest filmmakers, but he's not necessarily the quickest. Snatch came out in 2000 and his follow-up, Revolver, in 2005. Typically more time working on a project means it could turn out better, but Thandie asserts otherwise: "We shot incredibly quickly [on the first]. There were three weeks pre-production. He just gets on with it. He absolutely does not see challenges as intimidating." I guess that's a good thing? As long as that means his next film is as brilliant as Snatch, then it sounds good to me!
Now back on topic - the trilogy. How would this work? Well, plot details are still very slim, but Thandie explains her enthusiasm: "'RocknRolla' is one of three films and Guy's keen to get going on that straight away. [The second and third films in the series] are going to be excellent. I can't wait." If you're still left scratching your head wondering how a heist plot could turn into a trilogy - you're not alone.
Thandie explains that RocknRolla is a simple game of "follow the money" but involves a variety of disparate and needy characters who eventually all come together. London's criminal underworld takes notice of a Russian mobster's shady land deal, a scam that puts millions of dollars up for grabs. Thandie plays Stella, a "crooked accountant", and is joined by Gerard Butler, Jeremy Piven, and Ludacris. Thandie also tells MTV about who lives and who doesn't, but since thats a bit of a spoiler we'll leave the decision to hear about that in your own hands.
To read up on all things RocknRolla including more on the cast, go back and read the first announcement from May and the casting announcement from late June and check out a video from the set we posted in October. RocknRolla is currently scheduled to hit theaters on Halloween - October 31st.

Breastfeeding may help strengthen the bond between a mother and her baby, according to a small new study published recently in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. Study researchers found that the brains of nursing moms show a greater response to the sound of their babies' cries than do the brains of moms who don't breastfeed, specifically in brain regions associated with mothering behaviors, reports MSNBC.
The study examined 17 new mothers, nine of whom breastfed while the other eight formula-fed their babies. Between 2 to 4 weeks after giving birth, the moms had their brains scanned using a functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) machine while listening to recordings of their own baby's cries as well as those of other newborns. Breastfeeding moms showed greater activity in a number of brain regions, including the superior frontal gyrus, insula, precuneus, striatum and amygdala, which have been linked previously to parenting behavior in studies on animals.
Plus: Study: Breastfed Kids Are Likely Better-Behaved
Additionally, the moms were videotaped in their homes interacting with their 3- to 4-week-olds and were rated by the researchers on how affectionate they were toward their babies, based on factors like responding appropriately when the infant was stressed. Regardless of how the moms fed their babies, greater maternal sensitivity was associated with increased activity in their right superior frontal gyrus and amygdala, said the researchers.
Plus: Study: Breastfeeding Moms Viewed As Less Competent
Researcher Pilyoung Kim of the National Institute of Mental Health, who told MSNBC that in addition to being an author of the study, she's also the mom of a one-year-old and has herself experienced difficulty breastfeeding, hypothesized that high activity in these particular brain regions may contribute to a nursing mom's ability to understand and respond to how her infant is feeling.
Additional research is needed on larger groups of mothers to better understand the relationship between breastfeeding and brain activity, said Kim, who added that a better understanding of this relationship may help to explain why some moms have difficulty forming an emotional bond with their child.
Did you feel like breastfeeding (or not) had any impact on your understanding of your baby's cries?

Rip-off ring member pleads guilty
BRIDGEPORT -- They wore masks, carried guns and broke into homes of alleged drug dealers, stealing cash and narcotics.
On Wednesday, the first of the 10-member gang rounded up last year by a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Task Force copped a guilty plea in federal court to charges of robbery, attempted robbery and using a firearm in a violent crime.
The admission by Michael Spears, 23, of Danbury, leaves nine remaining members maintaining their innocence. Those accused include two Bridgeport men and six Danbury residents.
Spears and his lawyer, Gary Mastronardi, a former FBI agent and son of a former Fairfield police chief, cut a deal with Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracy Lee Dayton.
In exchange for Spears' guilty plea, Dayton said she will drop additional charges at his April sentencing by U.S. District Judge Stefan R. Underhill. At that time, Spears will face up to 11 years and nine months in prison.
Dayton told the judge she will seek a new indictment against the remaining nine defendants.
Spears, lanky with a stringy goatee and his surname tattooed on his neck, was one of five men believed to have been involved in the planning of and an attempted robbery at a Bergh Street apartment in Danbury on Feb. 18, 2013.
The victim told police he fought with three assailants who kicked in his door. During the scuffle, the victim pulled a ski mask off one, whom he identified to police as Antonio Parker, 23, of Danbury. Once that happened, the trio fled empty handed.
Spears' guilty plea also involved a Jan. 30, 2012, robbery in which marijuana and cash were stolen.
Dayton said the intended loss in the robbery attempt was greater than $20,000. She accused Spears of being involved in the planning of the robberies and said he was either at the location or in the vicinity.
"He may not have entered the residences, but he assisted the others," the prosecutor said.
The remaining defendants have maintained their innocence against charges ranging from robbery to using a gun in a crime of violence to dealing crack, marijuana and heroin.
The others allegedly involved are Bridgeport residents Paul Whitehurst, 23, and Kevin Lemon, 20; Bedford Hills, N.Y., resident Scott Myrie, 26; and Danbury residents Laquanna Briggs, 21; Robert Cherry, 43; Casey Kershaw, 25; Marlon Patterson, 20; and Jordano Perdomo, 18.
The indictment charges Patterson, Briggs, Whitehurst and Lemon with dealing crack from May 2012 to September 2013. It also accuses Lemon of dealing heroin on Aug. 8, 2013.
It was Aug. 8 when federal agents and local police arrested Whitehurst and Lemon, who police said were dealing narcotics from a Lake Avenue Extension hotel room in Danbury. Packaged heroin and crack were seized during the arrest.

Communicating Effectively With a Child Care ProviderSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Good communication skills may prevent or quickly resolve problems related to child care. Try incorporating the following suggestions to help maintain or improve communication with your child's care provider:
- Make sure the provider knows how to contact you at all times, especially for an emergency. Respond promptly when you are contacted.
- Visit the child care center unannounced (or arrive home early if you have an in-home child care provider) to see how things are going. If you use an in-home provider, ask for daily schedules and reports.
- Talk with your provider frequently about your child's behavior. If you notice new problem behaviors, talk with your child care provider as soon as possible. Also, be sure to tell the provider when changes occur in your family that may affect your child's behavior.
- Volunteer to help with activities and parties. Let your provider know that you are interested in your child's experiences.
If you have any concerns, make an appointment to discuss them with your child care provider or the director of the child care center.

Viral pneumonia is a lung infection caused by viruses such as influenza (flu), adenovirus, or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
Pneumonia caused by a virus is a common lung infection. Viral pneumonia spreads through mucus from coughing and sneezing. Symptoms can include fever, cough, difficulty breathing, and wheezing.
Most cases of viral pneumonia improve on their own in 1-3 weeks; however, the cough and tiredness can sometimes last for weeks to months. Antibiotics can't treat viral pneumonia.

Last weekend's Independent on Sunday points out how all sports are struggling at the moment.
Snooker has enjoyed some recent success. Betfred.com has signed a four year deal to sponsor the World Championship while Sportingbet.com will back the World Series for the next three years.
But the golden days of snooker sponsorship are over. In the 1980s, companies were queueing up to have their brands associated with the sport. Not any more.
Snooker is no longer considered fashionable and has to fight its corner against sports where major firms believe they will get a better return: football, rugby union, tennis, golf, cricket.
Darts, perhaps snooker's closest competitor, has also been successful in attracting sponsorship because it has reinvented its image without changing the sport.
This is presumably why World Snooker has engaged Tim Darby, formerly Barry Hearn's right hand man at the PDC, to look at ways of changing the perception of snooker.
I wish him well. The sport can't afford to stand still and the complacent attitude that nothing can ever change has to end.
As we saw at the World Championship, professional snooker is still a first rate product and the game includes a fascinating cast of characters, including those younger players emerging into the limelight.
The challenge now is to harness the interest that is there and persuade potential sponsors that snooker is a sport worth supporting.
Not an easy task but not an impossible one either.

C'mon, Dave, Betfair have sod-all to do with the sport.
If someone such as yourself can't get it right, what chance do other less informed journo's have?
- 11:19 am
Darts is also a cheaper alternative for sponsors..
snooker was relient on embassy and tabacco sponsorship so much and they put so much money in to the sport that now they expect other companies to foot the same bill where they can sponsor darts for less.

With Betfred's success in sponsoring the World Championship, it may just encourage sponsors to sponsor other events.

i think it will take a bit longer to determine how succesful their sponsorship has been

If the sponsors are ready to invest in this sports many young players will be rectified.

NOAA Cautions Public to Avoid Seal Pups on California Beaches
NOAA's Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary advises beachgoers against interacting with any seal pups they may find on the beach. Newborn harbor seal pups, born in late winter and spring, could suffer permanent harm if someone not licensed in marine mammal rescue were to move them. Seals are also federally protected animals under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and to interfere with one could incur legal penalties.
Each year, healthy harbor seal pups are separated from their mothers by people who mistake them for orphans. The San Francisco-based Farallones sanctuary advises concerned beachgoers to report suspected orphaned or injured pups to a park ranger, or to one of the following licensed facilities to assess the need for rescue:
Harbor seal mothers normally leave their pups unattended on beaches while feeding at sea. They will later rejoin and nurse them. The presence of humans or dogs near a seal pup could prevent a mother seal from reuniting with her young one.
Such disturbance can result in pup deaths, and if persistent around a seal rookery, could contribute to overall lower birth rates, reduced habitat use and eventual abandonment of seals' haul-out sites. Although some wildlife experts recommend keeping 300 feet from any seal pups, even at that distance disturbance can occur.
"The rule of thumb is, if a seal reacts to your presence - you're too close," said sanctuary marine biologist Jan Roletto. "Avoid eye contact and back away slowly until they no longer notice you."
Approximately one-fifth of the state's harbor seals live in the Farallones sanctuary, whose largest breeding grounds are Bolinas Lagoon and Tomales Bay. They haul out in groups ranging from a few to several hundred. Females generally give birth on sandy beaches or rocky reefs to a single pup, which nurses for three to four weeks. For more information on sanctuary wildlife and programs, visit the sanctuary and sanctuary association's Web sites (see below) or call 415-561-6625.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, more than 70 countries and the European Commission to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts and protects.

He talks the usual holistic bollocks, which the newspapers duly solemnly repeat for him.
The Prince Of Wales called today for a health service that recognises "the core human elements of mind, body and spirit" as well as treating disease.
Charles said health professionals should develop a "healing empathy" to "listen and honour what is being said and not said by patients" so they can find their own way towards better health.
Writing in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, he set out a vision of healthcare that includes "the physical and social environment, education, agriculture and architecture".
Writing in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine? How does someone with no medical or scientific training of any kind get to publish an article in a medical journal? Was it peer-reviewed?
The editor explains:
Dr Kamran Abbasi, the journal's editor, said: "The Prince of Wales is a prominent and influential voice.
"When he sets out his vision for health, something he clearly thinks deeply about, speaking directly to medical professionals is the best way of allowing a constructive debate to flourish.
"This is an important article and The Prince's vision for health is engaging."
Well of course the prince is a prominent and influential voice – that's because he's the prince! That's the only reason. That's a seriously crappy reason to publish an article by him in a medical journal.
Toffy McToff doesn't have any special wisdom merely because he was born a Windsor.

Shoppers urged to visit local stores
If you plan to go shopping Saturday, the Henry County Tourism Bureau urges you to think small.
Since 2010, the Saturday after Thanksgiving Small Business Saturday is a day for everyone — from the business owners who create jobs to the customers who buy locally — to support small businesses that invigorate the economy and keep communities thriving.
It began in 2010 when American Express founded Small Business Saturday to help small businesses get more exposure during one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year.
Last year, over 100 million people came out to shop at independently-owned small businesses on the day. Now, in its third year, Small Business Saturday will be even bigger.
American Express is offering free and easy-to-use tools to help small businesses get the most out of the day and tools for consumers to show their support.
Consumers are a key part in helping small businesses thrive. By shopping or dining at a small business, they show their support for all the small communities in the area.
They also help local entrepreneurs offer more jobs, which in turn invigorate the economy.
Last year, over 100 million people came out to shop at independently-owned small businesses on Small Business Saturday.
Shoppers may observe Small Business Saturday by going shopping or dining at a local small business, spreading the word to others or sharing the news online and through social media.
"Anything you can do helps to give small businesses the support they need to keep creating jobs, powering the economy and invigorating communities. And that's what makes Small Business Saturday a success," said the Small Business Saturday Web site, www.shopsmall.com

PORTLAND, Ore. – The fiscal cliff deal Congress passed Tuesday did not include extending the two-percent payroll tax cut.
How does that translate to your paycheck? If you earn $50,000 a year, you'll lose a thousand dollars more to Uncle Sam.
But there are ways you can save that amount of money in a year's time.
Visa did a study and found people spend more than a thousand dollars a year on "mystery" items – they don't know where their money is going.
So just tracking your spending can be a good way to start knowing how to save it. Meanwhile, there are a few changes you can make that add up to that $1,000 difference in your paycheck.
Saving money can be as simple as washing your clothes – that is if you use only cold water. All that churning and turning in the machine doesn't use much power but heating up the water does.
Portland's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability agrees with a PGE blog post, saying you can save up to $180 a year by avoiding the heat.
Speaking of clothes: Do you shop online? Whether it's shopping or gift giving, look for websites that ship for free. Use Nordstrom or Piperlime and you won't pay extra for returns either. At once or twice a month, you could save about $120 a year.
You can also save $240 a year by losing your landline phone. If you've already hung up the at-home phone, consider your cellphone plan. Chances are you're paying for more minutes than you need.
As for your cable, Portland State University senior instructor and personal finance expert Brenda Eichelberger says it's as simple as calling the company.
"You have to call and ask, they're not going to say, 'Hey, you're spending too much money, do you want to spend less?" she said. "By combining some things, we saved about 100 dollars a month."
If nothing else, get rid of those premium movie channels. Three of them cost you about $40 a month or $480 a year.
That's all it takes to save more than a thousand dollars this new year. But there's more. Eichelberger says mortgage rates are lower than they've been in decades so take advantage of them.
"The mortgage rate, I just looked it up, was 3.41 percent average in Oregon right now," she said. "So if you have a rate you're paying that's higher than that, you might want to look at refinancing."
One of her students recently saved $400 a month or $4,800 a year.
Another idea to save money is to buy a gift card for yourself – like a $20 Starbucks card to use for the month instead of spending mindlessly.
With the fiscal cliff bill and the start of the new year, experts agree now is a good time to take a look at your finances anyway.

Murfreesboro, N.C. – The Lady Cobras soccer team lost a tough match on Sunday afternoon to the Chowan University Hawks. The Hawks defeated Coker 2-1 with a goal late in the second half. The loss drops the Lady Cobras to 0-2 after their first week of play.
In a very evenly matched game, neither team was able to find the back of the net until the second half when Meredith McCarty put the Hawks on the board in the 57th minute. Coker evened the game at one apiece with a Sarah Kinsey (Windermere, Fla.) goal in the 70th minute. But it was Chowan's Ashley Bradford that gave the Hawks the 2-1 victory with the game winning goal in the 83rd minute of the match.
Chowan out shot Coker 20 to 12, while the goalkeepers had almost identical matches, with Coker's Carrie Hudnell (Goose Creek, S.C.) had five saves and Chowan's Kristy Brown had six saves.
The Lady Cobras return to the field on Thursday, Sept. 3 when they host the Bulldogs of Wingate University at 7:00 p.m.

David L Waltz, in Memoriam
Dave Waltz began his career of creativity and collaboration after completing his dissertation in 1972 at the MIT AI Lab. That dissertation created the field of constraint propagation by showing that constraints and a rich but simple descriptive system were sufficient to recover 3-dimensional information from a 2-dimensional projection. Besides an education, Dave picked up a passion for the high-energy atmosphere that propelled the MIT AI Lab to prominence—an atmosphere that he spent the rest of his life recreating

Deep fried salmon skin is a delicacy and is often used in maki sushi rolls. These can also be served as snacks, as here. In order to make the salmon skin extra crispy when you deep-fry it, you can sprinkle it with a thin layer of rice or potato flour first.
Servings: 4
- 1
Cut off the salmon skin, leaving a small amount the meat attached to it. You can also ask for ready-cut salmon skin from the fish counter.
Sprinkle a thin layer of starch (rice or potato flour) onto both sides of the salmon skin.
- 2
Fry for 20-40 seconds in oil at a temperature of 320oF.
- 3
Paint with the teriyaki sauce. Brush with the honey. The easiest way of doing this is to warm a teaspoon under the hot water tap first. Sprinkle with the spring onions and serve.

I don't think the wikipedia article writers ever consider Open source game that people make Engine only and game made by others. And distribute sepeartely. There isn't original game here, no rules from Wikipedia apply as the article do not stand for explaining springrts under linux.
see description on Wikipedia:
Mod or modification is a term generally applied to personal computer games (PC games), especially first-person shooters, role-playing games and real-time strategy games. Mods are made by the general public or a developer, and can be entirely new games in themselves, but mods are not standalone software and require the user to have the original release in order to run.
for example the windows release of Gundam RTS isn't a mod, because it includes the spring engine
I have just compiled it and updated the wiki once more (the development of the needed dependencies requires maintaining of the wiki quite often).
Someone more knowledgeable than me in linux should take care of this as I am not sure I have written the scons instructions correctly (what is the scons equivalent of make install??)
Still, this is a great project, not quite sure you can call it a game, but great indeed.
Thank you, you showed love :D
The code compiles fine on linux, so it doesn't matter on what OS it has been developed on.
The compiling is not trivial, you have to compile a number of dependencies as well. I have been updating myself the wiki on that matter just a few months ago.
In definitive, there are still linux players and maintainers to an extent.
No activity on Linux, linux maintainers&players?
Upon the time, I have to say: it should be up to the authors to decide wether its mod or game. Total Conversion is another matter though.
I was very active in Zero-K, and blow those called ZK a mod. And submit 2 times in Springlobby bug tracker to ask for the "mod" change to "game".
As spring is engine only, and Conflict Terra, Kernel Panic, Spring 1944, Gundam RTS have no relationship with original Total Annihlation. They should not get tags of "mod" or "total conversion".
For those complain about engine / game seperate. Do you conplain about GTK seperate from GIMP?
Last revision is two days old.

Wilkinson completes museum mural
Images depicting historic figures, beautiful landscapes, significant landmarks, and timeless symbols cover the north wall of the San Luis Valley museum – reflecting the diverse heritage of the San Luis Valley.
Last week, Adams State University alumnus Ian Wilkinson completed the museum's mural, located on Fourth St. and Hunt Ave. in Alamosa, Colo.
Wilkinson worked a couple weeks applying the paintings. However, the project took a year of planning, collaboration and outreach to prepare and design. ASU Community Partnerships' staff worked with Wilkinson extensively prior to his arrival.
Several community outreach activities, including social networking, were organized in order to receive community input into the design and concept of this public artwork. Sykpe sessions were held with Wilkinson, Ashville, North Carolina, to explore what the community wanted from this project.
Karl Jolliff, ASU Community Partnerships business support director, created an online survey as another means of obtaining design and concept ideas. With forty-eight responses to the survey, the overwhelming conclusion was that a representation of the entire San Luis Valley's past, present and a glimpse of what the future might hold would be the theme of the mural.
The mural is intended to spark conversation and interest in exploring the San Luis Valley's history, landmarks and legends. "Ian Wilkinson's interest in the Valley was demonstrated by the countless hours he spent researching what to include in the mural," said Mary Hoffman, ASU Community Partnerships executive director.
Hoffman wrote the $20,000 funding proposal to the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA) after Wilkinson returned to Adams State for an Art Department's Visiting Artist Lecture.
The NEA is an independent federal agency that funds and promotes artistic excellence, creativity, and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities. Adams State is eligible for NEA funding because of its excellence in the arts background, documented by its exhibit history, including community art exhibit involvement.
Many local organizations provided support to meet the community NEA funding match requirement. The Alamosa Marketing District, San Luis Valley Federal, 1st Southwest Bank, The Floyd Dale Higel Family, San Luis Valley Builders, Inc., and the San Luis Valley Museum provided support that leveraged the federal funding.

And a problem, a big one at that.
Members of the Journal Register Company's IdeaLab, including yours truly, met at the company's Yardley, Pa., offices on Wednesday to brainstorm the future of our industry. JRC advisory members Betsy Morgan and Jay Rosen were present and shared their insight into what the challenges mean.
We were challenged to come up with a problem and find the solution - in 30 days. I tasked myself with turning my own newsroom at the Daily Freeman upside down and change our current model, which, it should be mentioned, will not be painless. The idea being that once the production god (don't be lazy and watch the video) is gone, we are free to produce and experiment to better serve our audience.
In the coming days, I'll be sharing the tools I've been given (an iPad, a netbook and a Droid) with my newsroom and we'll be covering events as they unravel. I'll be keeping you updated on what worked and what didn't. My plan is to have our reporters using Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook – without a middle man (that would be us, the meany editors) – to post stories, photos and ask for input as the stories develop.
In other words, WE'LL DO IT LIVE!

One would expect, at least hope, that your community news coverage be accurate and well meaning. To that end, I insist, on behalf of Laura Pensiero of GiGi Hudson Valley, that your facts be corrected to reflect the truth.
When Laura was asked if Gigi was doing the rehearsal dinner, or catering the (Chelsea Clinton) wedding, her exact quote was: "Absolutely not."
Her other comment "How did you find out" related to another question entirely. It seems that the news starved media cobbled these disparate comments into some "story" … not Laura. She upheld her discretion and honesty.
Kindly show us all that you do too,
Thank you,
Burnell Shively

Chef Laura Pensiero, whose GiGi Trattoria opened nine years ago in Rhinebeck, is one of the caterers for the high-profile affair.
Her restaurant uses fresh ingredients from local farms, and specializes in homemade pastas, healthy Mediterranean fare and vegetarian dishes.
The food is mouth-watering, but the chef was close-mouthed.
"I can't talk about it," Pensiero told the Daily News yesterday. "How did you find out?"

Operation RoundUp supports young adults
COLUMBIA CITY — Several of Whitley County's youngest leaders received a boost recently thanks to the support of Operation RoundUP and Northeastern REMC.Leadership Whitley County's Young Adult Inititaive was awarded $900 in grant funds to provide partial scholarships for each of the Whitley County High School students participating in the program. Full tuition to the program is $600. Since incorporating students in the program two years ago, LWC has worked to partner with local supporters in an effort to offset the cost of tuition to the students."We realized the youth voice was important and should be heard," said LWC Program Director Kelley Sheiss."There is also a benefit to incorporating youth and adults cooperatively in a servant leadership program."The adults gain a broader appreciation and perspective for youth ideas and opinions, while the students network with professional adults and enhance their leadership skills, better preparing them for a successful future."To read the rest of this story, see the July 26 issue of The Post and Mail.

West Chicago teen gets 4 years for robbery attempt, stabbing at picnic
A teen accused of stabbing a man during a picnic at a West Chicago park is going to prison after pleading guilty to attempted robbery.
Alejandro DeLaCruz, 17, of West Chicago, was sentenced to four years Wednesday after admitting his involvement in the June 2012 attack.
The victim was picnicking at Pioneer Park with his girlfriend when three men told him to empty his pockets. Authorities said the man fought back until DeLaCruz plunged a six-inch knife into his chest, puncturing his lung.
As a result of the knifing, the victim was hospitalized for five days, Assistant State's Attorney Mary Cronin said.
DuPage County Judge Blanche Hill Fawell sentenced DeLaCruz to four years in exchange for his plea. The defendant also faces deportation upon his release because he is not a legal U.S. citizen, according to prosecutors.
Co-defendants Irbin Rocha, 19, of Lisle, and David Flores, 18, of Aurora, pleaded guilty to mob action last year and each received a year in prison.

Reviewer: Gandalf Guadalajara Mexico
This majestic CD is outstanding, it vibrates with magic and power, it contains hope and joy, surround yourself with this incredible healing sound, worth every penny of the price, a great buy, a great gift for anyone you love even the mother earth and the whole universe...
Singh Kaur (also known as Lorellei and Laura Drew) possessed both a keen compositional mind and a striking, crystalline voice.
Singh Kaur's musical journey was one of unique and magical magnitude. Her music reached a wide audience through the hugely popular Crimson Series albums recorded with Kim Robertson. Shortly thereafter, she joined Soundings of The Planet to produce her first Billboard-charting album, Instruments of Peace (1988), followed by What Child Is This, a Christmas album produced with Dean Evenson.
Singh Kaur was first exposed to the life of music at the age of five, listening to arias sung by her operatic grandmother. At age 14, she bought her first guitar and has been composing and arranging ever since. Her lyrical concepts can be traced to the 14 years that she spent in a yoga ashram studying ancient spiritual teachings and writing music to complement sacred texts.
Literally translated, Singh Kaur means Lion Princess, and a most appropriate name it was too. Long flowing red hair was her mane, accompanying an exuberant personality, both playful and ferocious. Yogi Bhajan, who crowned her with this name, often said that it held the key to her destiny: "Sing Singh Kaur!" As she sang, so did her soul touch the hearts of others, and in this way she bacame beloved to those who knew or heard her.

Mike Florio at PFT May Have Molested Children
The latest from SI:
"Mike Florio, well-known football journalist, may have associated with an organization that has been responsible for molesting and sexually assaulting hundreds of children. This old organization, steeped in ritual, and run exclusively by men (mainly old men), has been proven to have fondled, molested, violated and raped boys as young as five. Florio may have been associated with this group throughout his adult life.
When asked about the allegations, Florio avoided the question by saying that the allegation was preposterous. He later made a more emphatic denial. He further claimed that no children that were raped ever had any of his biological material on them.
His denials do not exonerate him, however, as they do not conclusively prove that he did not rape children. After all, Lance Armstrong also denied doping and he had multiple negative drug tests to corroborate his story.
Unfortunately, no journalist has been able to ask Mike Florio the pointed follow up questions that would be needed to resolve this issue. And even if they ever do, we may never know if Mike Florio is telling the truth. Simply put, this alleged child rape scandal will hang like a cloud over his head for the rest of his career and the rest of his life, tainting his reputation."
To be clear: I am not dissing the Catholic Church. My wife is Catholic as was my grandmother. I am merely showing that this guilt by gotcha journalism practiced by SI and PFT is irresponsible, sloppy and shameful. I see PFT was at it again this morning. (For the record: there is no evidence to show that Florio is Catholic or molested children. Just like there is no evidence to show that Ray ingested IGF-1 in any quantity that would have given him any advantage.)
To get to proving Ray "guilty", you would have to establish the following facts:
1. Ray spoke to Ross
Let's stipulate to that and assume that Ray is on a tape talking to Ross and telling him to send him everything he had.
2. Ray received spray from Ross.
There is no proof of this -- only Ross' word that he sent it to Ray.
3. Ray took the spray.
No proof.
4. The spray contained IGF-1.
Expert testimony says that is impossible.
5. There was sufficient IGF-1 to provide Ray a competitive advantage.
Expert testimony says that even if IGF-1 is in the bottle, there isn't enough to make a difference.
BONUS: Ray knew the spray contained IGF-1.
There is simply no proof of this.
So, based on most of these unproven assertions, we are throwing Ray in with Lance Armstrong. This is infuriating in the extreme. If there was a public trial of Ray on these facts, any third year law student worth his or her salt would get you an acquittal. I don't even think a judge would even allow such a "case" to get to the jury.

Re: Mike Florio at PFT May Have Molested Children
Look, I get it, but you can't pull this kind of crap...This is going to end up in the trash heap unless you fix the title. And probably omit the whole fake story.
When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. Thats the Baltimore Raven way. - Steve Smith Sr.

Did you really believe the title that Mike Florio May Have Molested Children?
If the mods don't like it, please go ahead and take it down.

You're certainly welcome to vent about your angst over Florio. But try again with smarter headline and in the appropriate area of the boards.
I would suggest if your venting about the media in general, use the politics / off topic area of the boards. If its how the Ravens are being treated by the media, use one of the many open threads about it.
Re: Mike Florio at PFT May Have Molested Children
Well played Hammerhead. Here's another classic example of the kind of point being made here:
"Mr. HoustonRaven, please tell us when you stopped beating your wife." :p
It's easy to make a person sound guilty even though it's a baseless, factless, and false assertion.

Intro for May 28, 2013
Dear Gossips,
Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy.
The title of the third Bridget book by Helen Fielding was just confirmed today. It will be released in October. And what is Bridget up to now? The publisher's notes only revealed the following:
"The novel is set in present-day London; Bridget is older; she is still keeping a diary, but she is also immersed in texting and experimenting with social media, with an accent on 'social.'"
And here's an excerpt:
Wednesday 24 October 2012
11.27 p.m. Just presss d SEND. Iss fineisn't it?
You see, this is the trouble with the modern world. If it was the days of letter-writing, I would never even have started to find his address, a pen, a piece of paper, an envelope, a stamp, and gone outside at 11.30p.m. to find a postbox. A text is gone at the brush of a fingertip, like a nuclear bomb or exocet missile.
It has been 14 years since Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason. She's missed out on a lot. Or, rather, we've missed out on her during a lot. Bridget disappeared with the rise of reality television. Who is Bridget in a Kardashian world? Has Bridget joined the Motherhood Industrial Complex? That's the obvious assumption from the title, right?
If that is indeed the case...do you care?
It's not out of character for Bridget to want children. It's an understandable progression, even though normally that wouldn't interest me. But, as Louise Dennys, Publisher of the Knopf Random Canada Publishing Group, said in the release today, "Helen Fielding accomplished something rare and wonderful as a writer--she brought a character into the lives of millions of people who today still smile at the memory of that all-too-human singleton in nineties' London."
It's true, non? I do still smile when I remember Bridget.
Dennys continues, "BRIDGET JONES: MAD ABOUT THE BOY is a totally new phase in Bridget's life, as Helen indicated when she said, 'Bridget's life has moved on.' But, the question is, just how much?"
We've seen from the examples of Arrested Development and Veronica Mars the enduring loyalty of invested fanbases, even after long absences. Is it the same with literary characters?
Yours in gossip,

The Dream Begins!
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I wanted to share just one thing that I'm particularly grateful for this year. Yes, I'm most grateful for this incredible family I have been blessed with: two incredible little redheads who can make me laugh and make me cry all in the same moment…they are a true blessing; and my husband, who puts up with all my crazy ideas, no matter how hare-brained he make think they are…he has the patience of Job; and my sister, 10 years younger than I, we weren't very close growing up, but now as adults, we grow closer by the day.
But aside from my blessings of family, dear friends and all of you treasures who take the time to read this little blog of mine, this year I'm also particularly grateful for the power of dreams, and for the courage to take a risk and follow them. And I'm grateful for Carmen, whose work you see here, for having the confidence in me to help us both work towards fulfilling a dream. My dream of a Purple Cottage and her dream of sharing her talents have merged into something we are both very excited about. The doors of The Purple Cottage are now open, and Art and Dreams Bound with Carmen Torbus is ready to go! Go take a look! I hope you'll be able to join us!
~And I would be remiss in not admitting I'm grateful for chocolate, and for the chance to sneak a few licks of the brownie and cake batter bowls after I've poured the batter into the cake and brownie pans. There's a very good reason I don't make a huge effort to get all the batter out of the bowls.~

As we usher in a new year, these are the Top 10 stories that will either be completed or started during the coming year. The Grant County News will continue to follow these stories throughout the year.
It may be weeks or even months before dirt is moved on a 800-acre site off Ky. 36 in Williamstown, but a full-scale replica of Noah's Ark is in the works.
In 2009, the Grant County Industrial Development Authority began working with developers on the $150 million project which is expected to bring 900 full and part-time jobs to Grant County when the tourist attractions opens in 2014.
The Ark Encounter will feature a walled city, a full-sized wooden ark, live animal shows, a children's play area, the Tower of Babel including a 100-foot tall builiding and a 500-seat theatre a First Century village, three bird sanctuaries, a butterfly exhibit and a journey through history featuring various events in the Bible.
According to Wade Gutman, the property is under contract and the project has moved into the due diligence phase, which could take up to six months.
Construction continues on Williamstown's new sewer plant on Ky. 36. According to Brian Gatewood, the project is about 55 percent complete and will have a capacity of 1.5 million gallons when finished later this year. The total project will cost $15 million and is being paid for by increases in sewer rates.
According to Grant County Judge-Executive Darrell Link, he's never been notified that Republic Services, owner of the landfill in Williamstown, will be closing the facility.
The company said in 2010 the facility would close at the end of the year after host negotiation concessions could not be reached.
As Grant County continues to grow, so will the need for infrastructure improvements in roads, law enforcement, fire protection and EMS services.
The potential addition of a high volume tourist attraction in Williamstown will only add to these needs.
Can current roads around the Ark Encounter site handle the influx of traffic?
Will already cash strapped fire departments be given more money and additional staff to balance out the workload and needed services?
As preparation for the Noah's Ark-centered park begins in 2011, Grant County will need to prepare itself.
Construction on the widening of Barnes Road finally could begin in 2011. During the 2010 General Assembly's special session, legislators approved a state road plan that included $5.2 million for the project.
Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, a member of the Senate Transportation Committee, said the only holdup is the acquisition of right-of-ways by the Kentucky Department of Transportation.
If the issues are settled, Thayer said he is optimistic that the project will begin this spring or summer.
"I think it's a really critical safety issue for Grant County," Thayer said about the widening of Barnes Road. "I also think it's very important for economic development and attracting future businesses."
A dream became closer to reality in 2010 as ground was broken Aug. 10 at Grant County High School on a nearly $10 million career and technology education center.
The center, which will be a 34,000 square-foot addition to the high school, is expected to be completed by the start of the 2011-12 school year.
The center will allow students to take classes in areas such as health careers, information technology, electrical technology, welding technology, automotive technology, bio-medical and pre-engineering.
The Grant County facility will be the only four-year program of its kind in Northern Kentucky.
"Our community is ready for this. Our community wants this," Superintendent Michael Hibbett said during the groundbreaking. "It will make a big difference for us. It will push us even further into the top 20 and make us long-term one of the best high schools in the state and one of the best districts."
• WILLIAMSTOWN AQUATIC/WELLNESS CENTER - While it's unclear how much movement will be made, discussions likely will heat up in 2011 of a possible $6 million wellness/fitness/recreation center in Williamstown.
The Williamstown City Council and Williamstown Board of Education are exploring the possibility of working cooperatively to build the center, which Charles Ed Wilson, former superintendent and currently a member of council, said he envisions could be planned and constructed over the next six years and serve not only needs of the school but the community.
Wilson suggested that the center, which would be located on Williamstown's school campus, could be anchored by a four season aquatic center and include a fitness/workout facility, racquetball courts with an indoor walking track and lighted tennis and basketball courts. It could also contain an Olympic-sized track circling a multi-purpose lighted field, an outdoor classroom with picnic pavilion and walking and bike trails.
A committee composed of Charles Ed Wilson, as moderator and Sally Skinner, Chris Lawrence and Connie Lawrence from the Williamstown school system and Mayor Rick Skinner, Eddie Gabbert and Bob Perry, representiing the city, have been appointed to work on the center.
• ROCK QUARRY/LAKE EXPANSION - With the proposed Ark Encounter development looking to locate in Grant County and projecting 5,000 visitors per day to the attraction, several projects including a proposed rock quarry in Williamstown and expansion of Williamstown Lake will be stories to follow in 2011. Grant County's Industrial Development Authority has committed to assist Vulcan Materials in finding property in the county for a rock quarry. Discussions also continue with local/state/federal leaders on the need to expand Lake Williamstown. These issues are expected to generate more discussion as the Ark Encounter project moves forward.
•NEW SUPERINTENDENT - The Grant County Board of Education will have a new superintendent when the 2011-2012 school year starts.
Michael Hibbett announced his retirement at a school board meeting Nov. 11.
Hibbett came to the Grant County School District three and a half years ago after serving as assistant superintendent in the Boone County School District.
The question now is, who will replace Hibbett as the leader of Grant County Schools?
The application window for the position will open Jan. 10 and close March 14. The district is planning to make a selection by April 28.
• ECONOMY - While 2009 proved to be a difficult year to be in business, 2010 also brought some challenges to local businesses. Some such as the Little Shrimp and Dairy Queen in Dry Ridge closed their doors, while hotels, motels and other restaurants continued to eye Grant County as a possible new home. Only as the year unfolds, will it remain to be seen whether Grant County has recovered from the recession.
• REPLACING BOB GREGG- An era came to an end at Williamstown High School as Bob Gregg announced his retirement as director of the Williamstown Band of Spirit. Gregg won eight state titles, including five at Williamstown. 2011 will answer the question, who will try to fill Gregg's big shoes? Also, can Williamstown and Grant County High School bands return to the state championships in Louisville again, where they finished as runners-up in 2010?
